Best XI of U19 World Cup winning players who couldn’t play for India
India won the recently concluded U19 World Cup under the captaincy of Yash Dhull.
9. Pradeep Sangwan (2008)
The tall fast bowler from Delhi was very impressive in the 2008 Under-19 World Cup. He had made a name for himself during the World Cup. He was even preferred by Delhi Capitals ahead of Virat Kohli during the draft picks for the first IPL season. The left-arm pacer was considered as the future of Indian fast bowling at that time.
He made his FC debut in 2007 and List A debut in 2008 for Delhi. Despite making his debut years ago, he has not played many games in domestic cricket. He has played IPL for several franchises. As of now, he has played 39 IPL games in which he has 35 dismissals to his name. He was spitting fire during his U19 days.
He was tested positive for doping during a random doping test during IPL 2013. He was slapped with a 15-month ban by BCCI from all forms of the game after that. He returned to competitive cricket in the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy season. He got 32 wickets in that tournament. In 2018, he was picked by Mumbai Indians in the IPL auction.
